In this episode of The MindHER Podcast, Mandi Casey explores self-sabotage—why we pull back right when things start going well and how to stop dimming our own light.

Drawing on Gay Hendricks’ “Upper Limit Problem,” she explains how the nervous system uses old data to keep us “safe,” and how subtle patterns like procrastination, perfectionism, overcommitting, creating conflict, and burnout cycles can stall real progress.

You’ll learn a practical three-step shift: build awareness, get curious about the hidden payoff, and choose differently from your future self so you can move forward with ease and integrity.

Reflection Questions

• Where do you notice yourself pulling back when momentum is building?
• Which subtle pattern shows up most for you: procrastination, perfectionism, overcommitting, creating conflict, or burnout cycles?
• What might your current pattern be trying to protect you from?
• What is the hidden payoff of staying small or staying the same?
• If future-you already had the results you want, what would she choose today?
• What is one small, brave step you will take this week to move forward?
